Pen, watercolour pencil and wash.
I looked back over my work and found this drawing, from Exercise (1) Sketchbook of Townscape Drawings.
Pen and washes with red gouache, on a white support.
I sketched the buildings out in pencil and pen, then added one blue watercolour wash for the shadows followed (when dry) with a brown wash,
lastly I put in a shop-front in a bright red gouache, two of the shop signs and the figure's coat (on the right.)
I think its a rather boring piece of work and having the chance to do it again, I think the view might look better if done in pastels or conté, I am displeased with my penmanship and think it is an area I will work on in the future, I just very dully outline everything and it looks wrong.
All though the buildings all go away to the same vanishing point the background in this work is befuddled and unclear and it is difficult to tell that actually the street at the other end starts to go down hill.
there are a few bits I like though, the side of the street on the right, all in blue and the pie sign hanging above is rather quaint, also I like how the woman in the red coat looks,
(she has a bit of movement to her.)
